I think you are asking what the difference is between the Imperial and Metric systems of measurement?
There are many ongoing debates about which is better. I think really it comes down to personal preference. Personally I think metric is a lot easier for scientific calculation purely because base 10 is easy for my brain to work with, but had I grown up using the imperial system my opinion may differ.
I can however stress the utmost importance of correctly learning and using the English language system.

The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s2 in metric units or -32ft/s2 in English units.
A decimal number is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Measurement units in the metric system are related to one another by multiples of powers of ten (or 1000).

You multiply it by some conversion value

Hecto is a value in the Metric System. Hecto is the value 100, such as a hectometer equaling 100 meters.
The metric system, in mathematical terms, is a base 10 system. This means that the prefixes of the units change the value of the units by factors of 10. For example: 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters.
By using a metric system called, 'the golden mean'. Google it.

The metric value of 1000g is precisely 1000g
The value of the latent heat of fusion of ice in the British English system of units is approximately 144 Btu/lb.

The smallest value found on a metric stick is usually 1 millimeter (mm).
The value depends on the units used to measure capacity.
The SI unit for length is the meter, but for longer distances the kilometer is used. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.
